    Hormone rant - long

    OMG - it's not just me. I've been having trouble sleeping. I fall asleep just fine, I just can't stay that way for more than a couple of hours. My girlfirends are saying it's perimenopause. I hadn't heard about the raging appetite though I do have that too. You mean crossing your legs when...

    Biceps Tendon Strain

    Thanks for all the input. That really helps. My PT said she thought my pain presented more like a rotator cuff injury than a biceps tendon issue. Plus, I can do bicep and tricep work at higher weight loads now than I did before with no problems. However, I have to be super careful with form...

    Biceps Tendon Strain

    Haven't posted in a long while, but I knew this was the place I might be able to get answers. Has anyone else ever had a biceps tendon strain? I was working out back on Halloween (I remember it clearly) and had an unexpected pain in my shoulder. I knew right away it was the bad type of pain...

    Perks to go with workouts

    To be honest, anything Cathe does is great - I can't think of too many of her workouts I don't like. But I'd love it if the DVD's came with a preprinted workout sheet - something to use to track your progress. Cardio workouts would be simple - HR, Calories burned, somethign along those lines...

    What keeps you motivated...

    What a great question - expecially because I've been in a slump recently, but have still managed to workout more or less regularly. The first thing that keeps me exercising is the way I feel after a really good sweatfest. That endorphin rush is addictive. The second thing is knowing that...

    Weight Watchers -~~~Saturday~~~

    Morning everyone! Jane - more prayers and {{{{{HUGS}}}}} going your way! As Traci said, right now you have to focus on getting through what needs to be done - get him home and started on recovery. I'm sure that once the craziness calms down, you'll be overwhelmed with the emotional gravity...

    Limecat's Fun and Frivolous Friday Question

    Coke or Pepsi? neither - but if they are the only two options, Coke Disney or Looney Tunes? Disney Cats or Dogs? (be careful how you answer this one;)) both Ballet/Opera or Wrestling/Monster Truck Rallies? neither Weights or Cardio? (thought a fitness one would be appropriate) oooh -...

    What's the first think you do after you work out?

    I let the dog out. I work out first thing in the morning, too early for my pooch to actually wake up with me. By the time I'm done working out, he's up, crossing his legs, begging to be let out (he really hates it when I do an extra long work out). THEN I drink lots of water and take a...

    New Steel cut oats fan!

    All right - I've bought them and made them once and they came out ... well, not right. They were hard not soft like regular oatmeal. Did I do something wrong? What's the best way to cook them? Claude "A Drug is a substance which, when injected into a Rat, produces a SCIENTIFIC REPORT."

    Weight Watchers- 1/18 Thursday

    Morning everyone - Massage felt wonderful. First thing he decided to do was work on my neck and right shoulder - I hadn't said anything when I walked in, but they had been bothering me all day. He just knew that is where most of my pain was yesterday. He is amazing that way. You'll lay on...

    Morning everyone - I did LIC Cardio Blast this am, followed by AB Ripper X. Jane - thanks for the run down on your RA. Wow - you've had a really tough time with it. I recall my mom having to play the medicine roulette wheel early on when they were trying to figure what combination works...

    Weight Watchers Check In- Thursday, 1/11

    Evening all - OK - the update on Gram is - no news. She is holding steady, still not responsive, heart still strong, breathing still ragged, kidneys stable but not good over all. Late yesterday they told us she probably wouldn't make it through the night. 24 hours later, she's still here...

    Weight Watchers 1/10 WEDNESDAY

    Hi again - Just got the update from my DH - they took Gram off the respirator. They've told us she isn't being sedated anymore, but they wanted to keep her on morphine. Family asked them not to because they thought it was making her more sleepy, but I don't know why she was on it in the first...

    Weight Watchers 1/10 WEDNESDAY

    Morning everyone - Got up and decided to take it easy so I popped in Core Synergystics. Well, that wasn't easy! But you know how it goes, by the end, I was glad I'd done it. Stomach is felling a bit queasy now - not sure if it's overworked core muscles or something else. I'm hoping...

    Hi! My name is Claude and I'd like to join your checkin. I've been gone so long it feels like I need to reintroduce myself. I have been working out, trying some of those new Cathe workouts I got for Christmas and a few of those P90X workouts too! But my eating has been bad and I'm majorly...
